  Have to say the interview tonight on 2020 with the Trump family was very eye opening... he seems to be level headed, driven family man - his family is nice -- the older children were not spoiled - he made time for them when they needed him, even at 5 on the phone, he would stop the board meetings to talk with the kids,,they had to work from ground floor up in the company and earn their way, no drugs, all university educated, well spoken, love their father and the grand kids were the sweetest and they loved him... so to be thought of so highly by your family, there is no amount of money you can put on that success.... even though he has been married three times, he made them all work, all his wives are rich, have their own businesses, and he always supported and pushed the older kids.... who can say what works and what doesn't but he seems to have a "gift" for knowing how to do it.... wish I did with my kid and family....

  Take off the covers, put the inside pages in the paper recycle along with the covers -- and if you canèt do it call the local recycler, they may do it there -- better that than filling up the landfills

  OR

  Woodstove burning material....

  One position could go to the Governor of New Mexico -- a smart, legally trained lady who has been dealing with issues at the border for 15 years--- a woman who can give perspective on female issues - border issues - equality wage issues

  In the US, a woman earns only 65% of what a male earns in the same position but in all places Rwanda -- a woman earns 88% of what a man earns doing the same job.........I think the US and Canada can do better than Rwanda...

  If the hall doesn't use the money for something, its going to mama!!!

  AND:

  Toes is right -- there are so many out there having problems and struggling to keep their head afloat -- use the money for those who need it... not those who live the high life without a care in NY state... 5 locations up there all with the best of everything

  OR maybe now, they are going to have to clean their own rooms and make their own meals or call a worldly housekeeping service or chef extraordinaire to make ther meals!!! Makes me sick!

  Correlation decline JW numbers and JW broadcasting?

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read some impressive figures here about the decline of the jw numbers in 2015.. could there be a correlation between this decline and the start of jw broadcasting?.

  hence, that there would be an negative impact because the gb is standing so nearby, you can experience the idiot reasoning of their doctrines sitting in your own living room?.

  the lett effect?

  Cant, cant, cant watch Lett - it was noticeable at the assembly that I was not watching the screen and some mentioned it - I told them I just cant stand to watch his face and expressions, they laughed and thought he was so funny.... right off the farm I say.. the best they can do is let them in front of the camera for the world to see, better for them to have remained anonymous - being mysterious was their best bet... for some strange reason, the ivory tower is the place where gods live, but the tv - iPhone & tablet or computer screen is where the money reapers are

  Is this instruction related to ARC? There was heavy fire in Australia especially when they went back several years re a certain guy who was a known child molester...they had the records there, I thought the UK was going to set up their own Royal Commission in the future? and if so, material from years past would put the nail in their coffin in the UK

  Got 3 sisters in our cong who are on meds, single, lonely, intelligent, self sufficient - last assembley we were councilled not to go to those who would speak against being a Witness, being part of a millenial world ending group ---- use prayer and association in service and the meetings to control those feelings... bull crap... there is not one who understands the complexity of a mental and emotional illness associated with no mate, no support.. all elders are married, usually have children and have no right to counsel on anything that deals with a psychiatric condition-- same as elders who counsel on child abuse issues...

  The experiences they give on those who were contemplating suicide in other issues and were saved by a knock on the door by a Witness is so over exaggerated - which was another experience given at the one day recently. They didnt mention the several who committed suicide, brought up in the truth and were married with young children.... what about their mental outlook - where was their knock on the door?? Where were those elders who would read them a scripture to help them?

  i certainly wouldn't.

  All appointed men are being told they have to pioneer now!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yes, you read correctly..... all appointed men have been told in a new letter that they have to pioneer to "set the lead" whenever there is a "special" campaign month.

  they use some scripture saying that these ones have to show by example.... so for any of us who are appointed and have learned ttatt, it is going to be very hard to fade during this time!.
